  • @BeachChickThe are you speaking of race vs. nationality? as a african american i have to say that varies person to person.however,most african americans i know date all nationalities of black people and sometimes people of another race.basically,nothings concrete.It depends on the individual.

  • This is put together wonderfully! Thank you for sharing! We are all a little bit more informed because of this!

  • Fascinating: so much self-absorption, and yet so little self-actualization.

  • 42 People think slavery never happened

  • @ThirstyDad65 Thats true but you can't get a degree from reading books and doing research on the net.

  • Psh. Everyone knows the most influential intellectual is Noam Chomsky.

  • Have just started listening--I hope you'll talk about Ned Cobb Hosea Hudson Ralph and Eula Gray etc

    Mr. Moses was my high school math teacher. How come so much MLK? (no disrespect) but what about Mrs. Hamer Annelle Ponder come on! you wrote about SNCC! Anyway looking forward to listening to the whole series

  • 07:42 - don't think by integrating in american society your going to improve the race, you're just going to escape from the race

  • possibly the stupidest PC expression in history.. does this mean we'll have to call white people 'european-americans' someday? if you can say 'white' - then for christ's sake you can say 'black'..

  • Dat's right, chilluns, we was dee E-jipshuns! We built da pyramids and shit. We da superior race. But mammy, den why we livin in a tin shack an gittin food stamps to use for crack an you be out hoein all day? Cause dem muhfukin white devils came to africa and took our special powers away and messed with our minds. Now git yo asses back to beds.

  • excellent worker!

  • America (1675-1775) under BRITISH RULE and the wars fought under the British flag-

    Fought against the Wampanoag, Narragansett, and Nipmuck Indians.(AMERICAN INDIANS) and France. During this time, BLACK SLAVES were brought to the AMERICAS.

  • this guy obviously never heard of marcus garvey

  • The Romans are Caucasians. So, what are you really trying to say?

  • They would never have considered themselves to be like the whites to the north. Modern Europeans would love to view temselves as being the same as Greeks and Romans because without them they have no real history

  • yes listenheer, i agree, also, how about even a fraction of the history of jews? i mean does nobody openly acknowledge these things?

  • Wait a moment! The Romans also took many black slaves from Africa to Europe, but do we speak of THAT.

  • Slavery in Rome was nothing like slavery in this country.

  • 1 of 2

    Black man/women of slavery were un-educated, because the slave master kept them from reading and writing so they would be subservient and not escape. A non-self imposed ignorance. This had a devastating perpetual consequences.

    The white society has been telling his-tory for about 100 yrs., i.e., radio, movies then steroid tv.

    Therefore, how do you keep a people down? You 'never' let them 'know' their history...this is why Black People need their history Morgan.

  • HOW DO WE AS A PEOPLE KEEP OURSELVES DOWN? WE ARE NOT INQUISITIVE ENOUGH, WE ARE NOT SCEPTICAL OF STANDARD "BELIEFS" ABOUT US. SO, WE MUST QUESTION, DOUBT, INQUIRE, DIG, SEARCH-OUT and FIND THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO WE ARE and WHAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF.

    The 7th Cavalry got their butts in a sling again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. Read, and visit site/great military history, rescue at pine ridge. com

    All the post of the Buffalo Soldiers had some type of library/school to help bring the troops up to speed, since most of them came directly out of slavery. Enjoy

  • It's retarded, I used to go to a school that's 40% Asian, 40% White, 15% Hispanic and wait for it..... 5% BLACK.

    We had more African American studies classes than Hispanic / Asian / European studies..

    Hmm... I wonder why.......

    Suppressing other race studies is never racist when it comes to African American studies class.

    Go to any college website and download their schedule, then demographics, it's totally racist. No one is un-PC enough to talk out because they'll be "racist to do so

  • I think you have to realize that most American history is recorded from a EuropeanAmerican point of view so just ordinary U.S. History courses taught in most high Schools is European American history. Next African Americans are some of the oldest Americans in this country most whites migrated to the U.S. in the 1920s and other nationalities such as Asians and Latinos have a much shorter history in the U.S compared to .

  • not so, African American's know what it is to have their history suppressed, so there is no reason why they would not feel it is racist for other ethnic groups and cultures to have theirs suppressed as well. what needs to happen is for people to gather up and fight for their history to be taught as well, because whether it be Asian, White, Hispanic, Native American are what ever its not just their individual history it is everyone's to learn and know.

  • I'm from Brazil and about 45-50% of the population here is Black/and or Bi-racial (Black mixed with indian/or white) so we do have similar bonds with African-Americans because we went through the same history. Believe it or not there were more slaves shipped to Brazil then in the U.S.

  • is your language similar to spanish or portugese just curious peace out

  • Respect and love to African Americans from Ireland

  • @ruadhri44 Hey Irelan respect to yu brother I love your country and accent Brother

  • interessting, it does not often happen, that i see intelectual tv-programm on youtube, thanks to stanford, thanks to the usa.

    greetings from europe

    Schattensprinter

  • @Schattensprinte theres accualy alot of intelectual stuff on youtube. Check out some chomsky debates for instance. Theres one with willian buckley and also one against alan dershowits about isreal. peace

  • How do you keep a people down? You 'never' let them 'know' their history.

  • Dubois like all liberals really cant think of anything but sex. Not everything revolves around being homosexual. In China they teach, math, science, and English. Americans schools is Sex, perverted Sex, and multiculturalism, no wonder our kids come out so stupid. If your kid has a major that ends in Study accept the fact that they will be working at McDonald's and living in your basement.

  • Infact Exton the USA is infact a multicultural country but yet you teach English history I believe but not African history, Irish history, Mexican or Italian history.

  • @Exton1

    It's very obvious you've not read a word of Dubois. If you don't intend to look foolish please do not discuss things you know nothing about.

  • False proposition, how is Black history different than American History? This guy is a racist. So where are German American History, or Irish American History studies? Who ever heard of an African-Canadian? There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, Booker T Washington. Washington was for integration America First, Dubois was for separate but equal Black First. Duboiss theories have proven to be wrong and actually hold back the Blacks

  • Wow!!

    The guy is far from a racist.

    Are you denying that blacks have been slaves for centuries?

    Most people don't deny that.

    It's like saying 2+2 is two.You have the right to say that but that doesn't make it correct..

    I hate when people act radical and try to minimize racism when it's not applied to them.

    What would you feel if you was born in the ghetto and having to build everything from scratch because your ancestors worked for free for people who didn't even thanked them

    think about it

  • and THAT IS THE VERY BEGINNING OF OUR HISTORY,NOT SLAVERY.and young black america needs to know that b/c many are uninfomed.we need to know the entirety of our history and the entirety of it is not being taught in these schools

  • hey, all my "black" brethren out there. guess what. whites, indians, hispanics, you name em...NONE waste their damn time WALLOWING over their skin colour. The only people who do are blacks. Proven in every country, over and over. What the HELL is the big deal about your skin colour? GET OVER IT. you have black skin? does not mean your african. Do the Irish or european white SLAVES who came here with the black ones bother to cal lthemselves "IRISH-american"? no. because they have a life.

  • To accelduetograv: We would "Get Over It" as you say if it weren't for one thing, the system of global white supremecy. Get rid of that and we'll be fine.

  • inward40 Your confusing Western Civilization with Racism. Truth is that while the White Europeans were rising the standard of living, Blacks were still fighting each other over grass huts. Look at the Black that come here from outside of American, They see no white supremacy for they were not brainwashed into hatred and socialism. Blacks were progress economically until LBJ tried to help them out. Welfare and affirmative action destroyed blacks, blame the Democrat Liberals.

  • Err, yeah actually they do. Google the Irish-American Heritage centre. Google "white hertiage". Google "indian heritage".

  • I hate this world, because not everyone has the chance to go to Stanford.

  • Wow, you mean there's actually something that American history missed? Must be a short class

  • Though history defines the black American , it should no longer control him. The white man does not call himself a Euro American, why on earth should the black man, the one who built all of this country with his own sweat, and the whips on his back deny his given right to be a citizen of the U.S by calling himself an African American? Besides the Indians, We the blacks are the true Americans, since WE built the U.S

  • I would not say a black is a true American just because they helped to build the U.S. but because we the black people were among the first white settlers and were here upon and amongst the peoples who claimed U.S. Americanness and were here when this country was founded !

  • Do you know what i find utterly amazing? the term african amercan Either your an AMERICAN or your not, really should I be a german american F**k NO.

  • The term African American has nothing to do with whether one was born in Africa or not, but has to do with one's heritage. I hear about the Italian American, Irish American etc, and no one has a problem with that. All black folk on the planet came out of Africa, regardless of where they were born. So it is asinine, to say that only people born on the continent of Africa, can be called African. Cultural gangsters trying to steal the last remaining vestige of identity from Black Folk.

  • wasn't Obama born in Kenya/Africa?

    he's an African with an American passport

  • who gives a shit

  • You can't get one black parent and one white parent and come up with a black child. In reality the United States have it's first Mulato President. Which I find ironic concerning the U. S. history with slavery.

  • Obama is the first AA president because. To be african american does not mean you arent biracial. or multiracial, rosa parks malcolm ex, are just some african americans, with multiracial heritage. Black white are socail terms to classify diferent colors andfetures of people, To be african american is a social experience, and social and historical inheritence , of legacy, that orginates from dark peoples of africa

  • how about ppl of african decent from other parts of the americas

  • All human beings are of African descent.

  • Obama is not African American not because he is muliracial but because his father is directly from Kenya and is different from the majority of native blacks in the U.S.

  • That makes him *more* African-american than most people who call themselves so. He actually had an African parent.

  • You seem to contradict yourself.

    I can't think anything a more important criterium qualifying somebody as an african-american than the fact that his father is from Africa and his mother from America.

    The man himself,people around him and political adversaries identify him so.

    You can always find differences between people if that is your focus.

    It doesn't matter when they came.What matter is what they have in common right now.

    If you was black you will be swinging on different tune.

  • The term should be Black Amaricans not African Americans. How many blacks that live in the U. S. even been to Africa? A small percentage.

  • he's half white....

  • Him (President Obama) being of mixed culture is a element that makes his experience wonderful. Both of African and European decent.  It amazing how many struggle with this.

  • if you so called white africans hate the term african americans get mad at the american government for calling the blacks in america that

  • 43 min O_O

  • jewish got treated badly and they dont get special treatment for it .

  • Who did they get treated badly by? They get special treatment from their own people and they did not get stripped of their culture. They also can hide who they are if they want to to avoid discrimination. I had some White so-called Jewish friends that did not let people know they were Jewish. So, this gave them equal opportunity along with other anglo saxons.

  • Interesting message, however, somebody need to figure out a way to try to make it so that history isn't so boring when it's explained by the lecturer. Personally I don't think that most blacks have a problem being considered African American but nobody wants to be considered a second class citizen particularly in leau of the fact that it was African Americans that has been responsible for helping to make this country what it is today.

  • u r awesome !

  • my family is from nyc but we trinidadian ....so i called my self trini-american ...so i can identify with my roots . MY FAMILY CAME FROM TRINIDAD THEN SOMEHOW THEY ENDED UP IN HARLEM ....THATS HERSTORY ....IGHT

  • African descent born in American, thus American. More specifically, black American. The only real African Americans were the first ship loads of slaves and anyone born in Africa becoming a legalized US citizen.

  • thats an interesting way of looking at yourself. If your not happy to call yourself African American then you should not be so comfortable calling 'Asian' Americans 'Asian' cos how do you know they are comfortable not just being refered to as American?...truth is most of them dont mind, its mainly some black americans who have an issue with their African side, do you ever ask yourself why?

  • Have any of you been in africa? cause I am a South African (white) there is a (not very big) FUCKING BIG difference between the 2 "blacks" ( no offence intended)

  • ERM NO ha funny.its just education.yes there is gonna be guilt but people need to get over it but at the same time educate it as its a part of history.

    if your gonna learn america history the biggest part of it is the times of slavery. BY TALKING ABOUT IT AND EDUCATING FOLKS.. ignorance is then gone.. and with that kids like yourself will understand that because OF THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW.. it will never happen again.

    you need to remind a child what is wrong so they can grow up!

  • Spot the angry yanks. Grrrrrrrrr!! Go git an assault rifle and let off some steam on a few pedestrians, y'all.

  • Are there any commenters to this video who are not white supremacists?

  • I hope and pray that they aren't!

  • Woah.

  • Why is there even a thing called "Black History"? Why can't there be just one 'History'. Black or white, if you've made an important contribution you should go down in history- not 'black' history. I've never heard of a thing called "White History", where is there a "black history"?

  • You've never heard of a thing called "white history" because in high school, "white history" is called "history". There are many aspects of history you can study. You can study the history of economics, or music, or race. Race is a subset of society and culture.

  • @Joeyg143 black history isnt like any other history. and no group has ever suffered as much as blacks. its easy for someone who isnt black to say the stuff you say.

    also african american kids need to know black history, because what is a person without history?

  • What hook nosed european fuck wrote this message. Of course you are looking for attention, and nw you have it. Fool!

  • The most respected Obama has blood in his veins related to UK (England) Slavery according to Kenyan colonization history.

  • we are the one and same the only diffrence is skin color which depends on the climate you are in and how your skin color reactes or gentic programed to protect you from the sun. also race is a human polticial termn to make it so one group can better themsleves over the other

  • your a dumbass

  • The comment by jilk7 was completely reasonable. Unfortunately you are either too stupid, too ignorant or racist to comprehend a simple, reasonable premise.

    That makes you the dumbass. And worse.

  • If your born in america, your American! no matter what color your skin is. Its shit like this that keeps racial tensions high, peole are just don't realize.

  • Looks like interesting course.

  • you didnt get enough attention when you were a child did you?

  • "African American" is the stupidest label in the history of the universe.

    - Not everyone from Africa is black.

    - Not every black persons' ancestry is African.

    I bet you politically correct morons wouldn't give me the distinction of being "African American" if I came from Africa seeing that I'm white.

  • True,but your roots being white are not from the motherland even though you may have been born there. Still like the person above said race was created to divide so in the end we are 1 in the same.

  • What an idiot. If you were born in africa, so what. Your ancestors are not from africa. You would be a european born in africa.

  • distinction? you would be a European(or whatever group) African.

    lol. it aint that hard to understand.

  • Yes, finally someone that doesn't have their head up their ass.

  • "African American"... I don't get it, either you are born in Africa making you an African, or you are born in America, making you an American, unless you where born in two places at once. Then you would be a freak of nature.

  • "Irish Americans" are individuals born in the United States, and have Irish ancestry (J.F. Kennedy for example). An African American is an individual born in America of African ancestry.

  • What is there not to get. African descent born in america. Thus African American. GEEEZ!

  • So I'm a Caveman, European, Irish American?

  • Hey guys Jesus loves you and died for all your sins

  • Obama has no blood in his veins related to American Slavery. None of Obama's ancestors were here in slavery--no way directly anyway. How does this hit you? Let me know if that makes him really American black or not?

  • its not because he isn't directly descended from slaves, to become really a part of American Slavery you'd have to be a slave yourself, and no one is a former slave. Rather it's the ideal of a colored person simply even being given those privileges that makes it a powerful thing. He is a black American because he is 1. black., 2. american. That ones kinda obvious.

  • Don't worry. Obama is black enough to bring back slavery. Slavery for Doctors in nationalized health care. Slavery for Bankers, who work for a dollar a year, and are denied bonuses. Slavery for automobile workers who will be required to build cars Americans don't want, and will not be allowed to quit.

  • Then get the hell out of here if thats your view. Why do they allow douche bags to post here.

  • Well, its true Obama doesn't have ancestry related to American Slavery, but by the definition of African American (an individual born in America of African ancestry) President Obama is clearly that. A person doesn't have to be a descendant of American slavery to be considered an "American Black" as you state, but simply of African origins.

  • Obama is more of a symbol to represent those people fo slavery. its still linked.

    plus you dont need chains to be a slave these days. although there are no living slaves today remember.. no one actually experienced that pain.. only ancestry lines, but slavery comes in all shapes and forms that anyone of today can encounter. mostly any minority group.

  • muy buenoooooooooooo

  • why is this a spotlight video.

  • Jesus Christ. Most boring video ever.

    And 43 minutes long.

  • This was awesome! The way education in America should be....Free.

  • Free in what way? Academic Freedom? What if a professor taught something you disagreed with and was not PC--would you think that free---WILLLUGO???

  • What would you disagree with in this video exactly? Teaparty1111: "UHH WTF BLACK PEOPLE DON'T EXIST DUDE ITS A LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY DURR" Our educational system is really bad right now, don't try to discourage few moments of objectivity like this.

  • Warmonger747 what about latin-american forgot those, should they loose the Latin N just go with american. Nope dont things so.

  • I'd have more respect for Du Bois if he wasn't such a huge supporter of Josef Stalin. Du Bois called him a great man and wrote favorably of him, even after Stalin's death when his purges came to light.

  • smart black guys are boring, stfu dude and do something important with ur life, play basketball or learn to box better than the mexicans for fucks sake!

  • First things first... most african-american ancestors were TAKEN from their country... they didn't leave it. Secondly you don't hear of Chinese American because they call themselves Asian American as well as Hispanic Americans. Until the majority stops willfully ignore the plight and trials of the minorities then there will still be race issues. Lectures like these are trying to show you what you so willfully ignore and do your best to trivialize.

  • ALRIGHT, I'm gettin' high hehe

  • If you're a racist white person just go to the gym, lose that fat stomach, learn a language, and smoke weed because you obviously have low self esteem, are boring and uninteresting and finally need to just chill!

  • Dr. Carson really impressed me when he saved 10 babies from a burning building.

    god bless that man.

  • wow I am just honky white cracker but I am happy this guy is speaking for you, your DR.king was stolen from you and someone else needs to start to take up the slack, and thats that!!!!!!!!good luck

  • wow waiting for more

  • ROFLMAO!

  • No other race boasts a struggle - not the Italians, not the Irish, not the Mexicans..no one but the blacks. Immigrants came here at the turn of the century from europe and made a living through smarts..not by crying out. If I were black I would feel belittled by the non stop out cries - "it's always me" .. Look at our prisons statistics - it speaks for itself. Blacks (as all of us) are accountable for their own actions. Enough of this nonsense - be humble and self effacing vs. wah wah wah.

  • Ignorance of Amerikkka's history is no excuse......no!

    Ignorance is no excuse for ignorance! Period. It is easy to be demeaning towards the history of a people whom one holds disdain. Whiteness does not equal rightness. I just have one observation for the racist fools who may have enough wisdom to read this. African Amerikkkans has labeled themselves as such not to emphasize Africanism, but to point out that they (we) too are as American as those who by virtue of whiteness don't have to.

  • Learn to spell you racist fuck

  • Learn to use proper grammar you hypocritical ass hat.

  • crime statistics?

    you forgot how they got there in the first place litttle kid.

  • Conservative blacks go to the head of the line. Liberal blacks die in the back alleys, abortion clinics and jails. It's called "learning the hard way" and you don't need to attend Stanford to learn life's truths.

  • BLACKS MUST START AFTER PRESIDENT OBAMA IN FINDING A WAY TO MAKE PEACE AND PROGRESS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY BACAUSE GANS AND VIOLENSE IS NOT THE ANSWER LOVE ENCOURAGEMENT TEAMBUUILDING BUSINESS BUILDING TOWARDS PROGRESS IS THE SOLUTION BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR PEOPLE NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACTION nOW IS THE TIME FOR COMMITMENT DON'T WASTE ANYMORE TIME LOVE YOUR PEOPLE BRING OUT THE BEST IN THEM INFRONT OF gOD AND THE WORLD

  • Comment removed

  • what a stupid class. what a waste.

  • Do students have to attend lectures at Stanford or are they all on YT?

  • Lecture 2| monquees Freedom Struggle (Stanford

  • DONT READ THIS Cause It Really Works. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY

  • thks profesor, send more

  • DuBois was what Kayne West is. Someone with a low self esteem that they have to constantly reassure themselves and others that they are relevant. Constantly pulling out a deck of race cards, while you're probably not liked because black, you're not like even more so because your a big mouth, arrogant, idiot that has to brag about how well you... tie your shoes up to how you are one of the better blacks or best black and somehow chosen to speak for all the rest.

  • blacks need to stop crying and complaining. they are a joke.

  • Oristiumpier/This man held a doctorate; he could speak, read and write ancient Latin and Greek -- and he could find no work at any university!/I think you missed a fine occasion to keep your counsel.../Cheers

  • Even Tuskegee University? Or maybe because he hated Booker T Washington, he was too proud to work there even if it did mean the education of blacks. Not many qualified and over-qualified blacks could find work back then. By not forcing inclusion, Washington practically had money shoved down his undies by white tycoons to start schools. DuBois resented that and later died in Ghana in exile for being a suspected communist and thinking Lenin was a genius. He did join the Communist party in 1961.

  • yes the murderous terrorism, and in "home" warfare had nothing to do with it

  • armaggedon

  • Washington wanted to integrate, but after we had established ourselves as an undisputable entity that the world could not help but recognize whites as hating and discriminating our people despite our agricultural, industrial, and economic success. Then, if white america needed help, the price for black america's assistance would have gone up. Today we are hated and discriminated against but whites and many blacks have just cause and it makes it very hard for us to get past a lot of issues.

  • What a waste of time.

  • This is a history lesson what do u expect?

  • Exciting.

  • I don't like W E B Dubois. I like Booker T Washington a whole lot better. Booker represents the black ideal that if we better ourselves as individuals, then can succeed regardless of racists attitudes around us. Dubois was one of those blacks who thaught calling himself an intellectual, making his name sound more important than it is, excusing and defending our faults, and forcing whites to accept us would bring respect and dignity.

  • ah here you go again with your cheap tricks, finding every excuse to call me a racist. It's just a shame to you, that I was smart enough to figure that part out.

  • Hey guys Jesus loves you and died for your sins

  • First it was black people being targetted, now it is the arabs! what a shame to you world! The devil is using you to turn humans against other humans yet you are blind to see it. The Globalists who think some people are 'useless eaters' do all to pitch one race against another or on group against another to their own selfish gain! Why is ethnicity always included in job application forms? Shame on you racists world! Blacks always seeking recognition, smiling at others who scourn them! OGod help

  • ok try to not be stupid. not only thos two have ben targeted or suffered. Ever heard of the racism toward irish when they moved to america? I dont think so because we are white...the asians NOT black where the last people to actually have the right to vote. the mexicans that live in my town take just as much racism as every other race has as well...

  • The reason it's next to impossible to make a comparison of racism towards Asians or Mexicans to the racism of black people is because of the despicable and sinful treatment blacks had to endure for hundreds of years. Slavery is quite possibly the biggest crime in recent history and a lot of racist attitudes are still held to this day. Of course there is racism against other ethnic groups but there was never a law saying Mexicans were "three fifths" of a person but that was the law for blacks.

  • Ethnicity is included in job application forms because of a disgrace we call affirmative action.

  • Great comments~thanks for posting

    old white man :-)

  • Good lecture to an ignorant world unfortunately! Why are Americans of African origin called African Americans? I have not heard of European Americans? Asian Americans etc. Most research is focused on this group, especially the negative ones. They try to link blacks with sports, drugs, disease and all other negatives! No mention is ever made of any invention made by this hated minority! I heard that Indians refused to attend a musical concert because the people to stage it were black! Shame on u

  • youve never heard of euro americans or asian americans? muslim americans or hindu americans? then you must live under a rock. maybe you've never heard of native americans as well

  • a black dude invented peanuts

  • and another black dude is your president

  • No, a black dude invented peanut butter.

  • he so sexy

  • This is so stupid, please tell me this moron dosn't have a Ph.D.

  • so he is in that room because he is black? so, what do you want them to do, put a white person in there? he'll feel the same way as you.

  • *yawns*

  • Germanicus00 What you don't know is what Willie Lynch legacy has done and doctrination continued planned is doing. Check out Willie Lynch Letter. You can google it.

  • talk talk talk talk

  • thks

  • I want to go to Stanford someday. This is such a wonderful lecture, I respect this persons ideals and intellectual values but I see a break in your logic. I understand in the history of our country negros or blacks undertook great hardships. But as we enter the 21st Century we have to revisit this sterotype that minorities have it more difficult. This sterotype needs to stop entirely, if you keep trying to make this statement you in essence want complete control of people's ideas and thoughts.

  • How much freedom you want already! Knit picking the rest of society til you own everything..... your trying to colonize morality because of your skin. You got a long road Mr. Professor.

  • if by "colonizing morality" you mean striving to improve the morality of primitives such as yourself

  • Not from you anywhere, after all, it is not all about skin colour, it is about the fact that some humans are so stupid that they think not being black is an added advantage! Black people are not looking for freedom, after black dogs and cats have no problem with white or brown ones. I guess people like you have serious issues to deal with, colour colour! It is not the colour that is most important, it is what comes out of the inside!

  • what?

  • excellent profesor...

  • not too much problem for black people too much anymore except for president obama who can't even go to the bathroom without 6 man tapping at his door keeping him updated with news.

  • Ignorant!

  • It is a pity that a man should be watched this much just because he is almost black! One day, not long from now, the maker of all races will judge all racists! I am pretty sure racists (blacks, whites, or colourless) are all foolish and stupid! I expect some bitter words from any one because of my comments

  • The reason why Black people talk about our past of slaverly so it can never happen again. People died so we could become free and respectable citizens. My third great uncle Father Augustus Tolton was a slave and became America's first known Black Catholic priest. I wrote a book on his life.
